Default has anybody actaully got a cd from pcgate on eBay?

he said he would sell a manual for $25. might be worth the risk if there is a chance of me getting it. his feedback is about 80% positive and the negatives are all bad (i.e. never got cd, he dosen't respond). who here has dealt with him? oh yeah, are these cds pirated?

Default Also, you may want to check that this is the right one for your car...

I notice you have a 20v... the only manuals I've seen him offer are for the B4s ('93-'95).

Default Re: has anybody actaully got a cd from pcgate on eBay?

Yeah..I did. Was doing a broad Audi search and came across the
add for the manual expiring in less than 10 minutes, so I put a
bid in and won. I did get the CD, it works, and as I found when it
arrived, was not a used CD as I was anticipating. I went back and
checked and found that the same CD was listed again so I sent
email to RB publishers on how to proceed...I have heard nothing back.
This was a week or 2 ago.

Incidently, the version for the 90 is just a rehash of the Dyment
Audi manual. I am dissappointed that RB couldn't do something
to improve it.
